Hi @billysidy

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd suggest you perform the extensive test -

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
3. On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests.
4. Click Extensive Test. 

Let me know the outcome.

No idea if this has worked as waiting for the next catastrophic screen failure. The machine passed the test advised above, and no problems were reported.

As the test passed, this looks like an issue with the operating system. Please back-up the data and try these steps -

1. Shutdown the computer. 
2. Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3. Press F11 once for System Recovery. 
4. Choose the Keyboard Layout. 
5. Click on Troubleshoot. 
6. Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Recovery. 
Note : System Recovery will delete everything that you had saved or installed on the computer. 
 

Let me know.

Are you saying this will delete all files and folders or just 'data'?

I do not want to do this as I do not have anywhere to store all my work, etc. I do not want it to be removed/destroyed.

@Houellebecq I'm afraid that's exactly what it means, however, considering the tests have passed and there are no hardware issues, a re-installation of the windows will resolve the issue once and for all, I suggest you get yourself an external USB storage device or get the free google drive online for up-to 15gb of your data (optional) and then perform the steps mentioned earlier.

If you wish to thank me for my efforts, you could click on "Accept as solution" on my post as the solution should help others too.
